Signal Generator
A signal generator of a given shape.
blockType: SignalGenerator

Description
Block Signal Generator can generate one of four different waveforms:
-
Sinusoidal
-
Rectangular
-
Sawtooth
-
Random
The signal parameters can be set in hertz or radians per second. Using by default parameter values, you will get one of the following waveforms:
| Waveform parameter | Output signal |
|---|---|
Sinusoidal |
|
Rectangular |
|
Sawtooth |
|
Random |
|
A negative value of the Amplitude parameter causes a phase shift of 180 degrees.
Block Settings Signal Generator It can be changed during the simulation to quickly determine the system’s response to different types of signals.
The Amplitude and Frequency parameters determine the amplitude and frequency of the output signal. The parameters must have the same dimensions (after expanding the scalars).
